'''Using Webhook and self-signed certificate'''
# This file is an annotated example of a webhook based bot for
# telegram. It does not do anything useful, other than provide a quick
# template for whipping up a testbot. Basically, fill in the CONFIG
# section and run it.
# Dependencies (use pip to install them):
# - python-telegram-bot: https://github.com/leandrotoledo/python-telegram-bot
# - Flask : http://flask.pocoo.org/
# Self-signed SSL certificate (make sure 'Common Name' matches your FQDN):
# $ openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout server.key -out server.crt -days 3650
# You can test SSL handshake running this script and trying to connect using wget:
# $ wget -O /dev/null https://$HOST:$PORT/
from flask import Flask, request
